Hi Ken,

I'm using strongvpn.com which is a payservice, but they have an inexpensive yearly option for $50. I'm quite happy with their service.

I'm also looking into this project which is free.

This article explains it fairly well.

These 2 have free offerings along with their pay service. I have no experience with them, but they came recommended.

Hope this helps.
Peter

I don't currently have a need to VPN home-to-office. Research reveals many choices, I'm hoping some of you gurus can help narrow the list of trustworthy VPN providers.
